With over 20,000 pieces, construction
boards, and full templates to build around,
campers will certainly have their hands
full with a week of Lego building exploration.
Throughout this week of design and build,
Oakland Yard's Lego director will challenge
participants with inventive construction
projects. In addition to using construction
templates, children will be shown drawings
of modern buildings, bridges, castles,
space ships and vehicles, and then be
turned loose with an endless supply of
Lego pieces to duplicate the drawing in
3-D. Campers will be introduced to the
basics of levers, pulleys, gears, wheels
and axles.
Most importantly, campers will be encouraged
to solve building challenges in a free
thinking, investigative and creative manner
by exploring new approaches to construction
while working within his/her abilities.
In addition to providing hours of fun,
this camp will encourage the development
of hand-eye coordination, spatial concepts,
creativity and imagination.
This camp is open to boys and girls, ages
7 -11
Space is limited to 16 campers

What's
What at OYA |
|
Oakland
Yard Summer Camps is continuing our
passport program to ensure that we
are a leader in safety by providing
a worry free place for parents to
leave their children. To accomplish
this, we will continue to issue camper
passports to all campers. In addition
to our passport security measure,
we will ask that you park your car
and come into our gated-area each
day to drop off and pick up your child. |
|
How
It Works: Campers
will use their passport on a daily
basis to check in with their counselors.
Counselors will use this passport
and the information contained therein
as a quick reference for attendance
and emeregency information.
Upon receipt of your child's
passport, we request that you fill
in the required information with
a pencil.
Campers passports will
be returned to each them at the
end of the day when their parent
checks them out.
There is a one time passport
fee of $10 per child. This
passport will never expire, it just
needs to be updated with your childs
current photo each year.
|
|
Parents who want
to pre-purchase ice cream and candy
credits for campers can do so for
any amount they desire.
Why do this? It allows kids to have
treat without carrying around cash.
Our counselors will keep the passports
in a safe place during the day then
at noon and a predetermined time during
lunch club and working parent the
campers can redeem their credits for
candy or ice cream.
All ice cream and candy costs
$1 |
|
Oakland Yard is
once again offering transportation
to and from our off-site camps for
a nominal fee.

As overnight campers,
we loved getting care packages from
mom and dad. Our day campers can experience
the same thrill with our OYA Mail
Call. We have our own offical mailbox
for you to deposit letters and care
packages into when you drop them off
in the morning.
We will have Mail Call on
Wednesday during Lunch Club,
if your child is not in Lunch Club
we will deliver the package on Thursday
morning. |

In the event of
rain, Oaklad Yard campers will participate
in an indoor field day inside the
dome. Campers may be asked to participate
in activities othere than the camp
they signed up for.
Camps that generally go about their
business on rain days: Sports &
Games, Arts & Crafts, Soccer,
Hip-Hop and Cheerleading.
There will be no make-up days offered
